Brushing device of a container of liquid cosmetics
A liquid cosmetics container has a brushing device, which includes an applying component joined to a container body, and a clipping component around the applying component; the applying component is positioned over an opening of the container body, and has a passage therein for liquid cosmetics to flow through; the applying component has an applying portion at a tail, which is around a tail end of the passage; the clipping element has an opening end, and two gaps extending through the opening end, therefore the opening end is compressible; the clipping component has two opposing clipping portions on an inner side of the opening end; a cap is used to cover the opening of the container body; the cap has a squeezing portion on an inner side to compress the opening end of the clipping component so as to block the passage of the applying component.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an improvement on a brushing device of a container of liquid cosmetics, more particularly one, which includes an applying component, and a clipping component capable of being forced to block a passage of the applying component by means of a cap of the cosmetics container; therefore, the brushing device has a relatively simple structure, and takes less time, labor and cost to manufacture and assemble.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
Referring to
The above liquid lip cosmetics container has a complicate structure, having too many components. Therefore, it takes much time, labor and cost to manufacture and assemble.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is a main object of the present invention to provide an improvement on a brushing device of a container of liquid cosmetics, which has a relatively simple structure, and takes relatively little cost, time and labor to manufacture and assemble.
A brushing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an applying component joined to a container body, and a clipping component around the applying component. The applying component is positioned over an opening of the container body, and has a passage therein for liquid cosmetics to flow through. The applying component has an applying portion. The clipping element has an opening end, and two gaps extending through the opening end, therefore the opening end is compressible and capable of springing back to an open position. The clipping component has two opposing clipping portions contacting the applying component. Furthermore, a cap is provided to cover the opening of the container body; the cap has a squeezing portion on an inner side, which will compress the opening end of the clipping component so as to block the passage of the applying component after it is put on the container body.
The present invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Referring to
The container body 1 is a squeezable soft container, and used to contain liquid cosmetics. The container body 1 has an opening 11.
The applying component 2 is secured over the opening of the container body 1. The applying component 2 is made of soft plastic materials such as silicone rubber, and has a passage 21 therein for liquid cosmetics to flow through. The applying component 2 has an applying portion 22 at a tail thereof, which can be formed in any shapes and be around a tail end of the passage 21 to apply liquid cosmetics. Referring to
The clipping component 3 is positioned around the applying component 2, and securely joined to the container body 1. The clipping component 3 has an opening end 31, through which the applying component 2 is passed. The clipping component 3 has two opposing gaps 32, which extend through the opening end 31; thus, the opening end 31 can be compressed, and can spring open owing to elasticity. The clipping component 3 further has two opposing straight clipping portions 33 on an inner side of the opening end 31 thereof. And, the straight clipping portions 33 are clipped in the detainment recess 23 in such a manner as to be closely in touch with the applying component 2.
The cap 4 is put on the opening 11 of the container body 1 to cover the applying component 2 and the clipping component 3. The cap 4 has an annular squeezing portion 41 on an inner side thereof, which will be around the opening end 31 of the clipping component 3 after the cap 4 is put on the container body 1; the inner diameter of the squeezing portion 41 is smaller than the outer diameter of the opening end 31 of the clipping component 3. Therefore, the squeezing portion 41 of the cap 4 will squeeze the opening end 31 of the clipping component 3, reducing the width of the gaps 32, and in turn the clipping portions 33 will clip the applying component 2 so as to block the passage 21 of the applying component 2 after the cap 4 is put on the container body 1.

From the above description, it can be seen that the present invention has the following advantages:
1. The soft container body allows liquid cosmetics to flow out of it when the cap is separated from the container body. And, the liquid cosmetics are prevented from flowing out when the cap is on the container body. Therefore, the liquid cosmetics container of the present invention is convenient to use.
2. The brushing device of the present invention comprises only the applying component and the clipping component, which can work together with the cap of the cosmetics container to prevent liquid cosmetics from flowing through the passage of the applying component. Therefore, the present invention has a relatively simple structure, and takes relatively little money, time and labor to manufacture and assemble as compared with the prior art.
Claims
1. An improvement on a brushing device of a container of liquid cosmetics, comprising:
- a container body having an opening;
- an applying component disposed adjacent the container body;
- the applying component being positioned contiguously over the opening of the container body; the applying component being made of soft plastic materials; the applying component having a passage therein for liquid cosmetics to flow through and a detainment recess on an outer surface thereof corresponding to an intermediate portion of the passage; the applying component having an applying portion at a tail thereof, the applying portion being formed around a tail end of the passage;
- a clipping component positioned around the applying component and secured to the container body to thereby secure the applying component to the container body; the clipping component having an opening end; the clipping component having a plurality of gaps, which extend through the opening end, so that the opening end is compressible and elastic; the clipping component having two opposing straight clipping portions on an inner side of the opening end thereof which are clipped in the detainment recess formed on the applying component to be in contact therewith; and
- a threaded cap to cover the opening of the container; the cap having a squeezing portion on an inner side thereof to contact and compress the opening end of the clipping component when the cap is threadedly engaged with the container body, and thereby compress the opening end of the clipping component and block the passage of the applying component, the opening end of the clipping component being uncompressed and the passage of the applying component being unblocked when the threaded cap is separated from the container body.
2. The improvement on a brushing device of a container of liquid cosmetics as claimed in claim 1, wherein the applying component is made of silica gel.
3. The improvement on a brushing device of a container of liquid cosmetics as claimed in claim 1, wherein the applying portion of the applying component is oblique.
4. The improvement on a brushing device of a container of liquid cosmetics as claimed in claim 1, wherein the applying portion of the applying component can be a brush applicator.
5. The improvement on a brushing device of a container of liquid cosmetics as claimed in claim 1, wherein the applying portion of the applying component is formed as a ball.
